    Lt. Gen. John Wissler, commanding general, III Marine Expeditionary Force, greets Mass Communication Chief (select) Heather Ewton, officer of the deck, USS Blue Ridge, as he embarks USS Blue Ridge Aug. 25, during Exercise Ulchi Freedom Guardian 2013. Wissler came aboard the USS Blue Ridge in his role as commander of the Combined Marine Component Command, Combined Forces Command (Wartime), for the exercise. The CMCC incorporates Marine Corps and selected naval forces of the U.S. and the Republic of Korea, as well as sending states’ amphibious forces, under one organization established in the event of a crisis on the Korean peninsula. Other service members with III MEF are participating in UFG from multiple locations across Japan and the Republic of Korea, as well as sending states, including a French battalion landing team cell. UFG is executed in support of the Republic of Korea and U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty signed on Oct. 1, 1953. This exercise furthers military training and enhances the Republic of Korea military’s abilities to take the lead of the combined defense of the Republic of Korea in 2015.
